Austrian chancellor wants to defend 'dominant culture'.
Staples of Austrian cooking such as schnitzel, roast pork lung and boiled beef have proved particularly vital for Gasthaus Stich, a restaurant in the village of Pfoesing.
They have helped the struggling business to survive by earning it a subsidy from rightwing state authorities in a controversial programme that benefits only traditional Austrian cuisine.
The subsidy for restaurants that serve regional and "traditional food" has been derided in the media and by opposition parties as a "schnitzel bonus".
It excludes restaurants serving less overtly authentic Austrian fare such as kebabs or pizza, for example.
As a typical Austrian staple, schnitzel - a boneless piece of meat that has been pounded thin to make it more tender and then coated and fried-qualifies for the cash.
"They gave us €10 000 (about R201 460)," said Michael Stich, the 39-year-old owner of the family business in Pfoesing, population 300, in the state of Lower Austria.
